Something along the lines of that maybe?
It's a bit rough, but it's a piece of concept
Also hi I'm new, been following the project; and can't wait for august.

Welcome! I still like the line rendering one - with the box. small, fast, efficient... genius

Hmm maybe not start up, but maybe as a loading/working icon(would appear in the corner maybe) at a faster animation rate.

I wish Craig or Ed could have some input and let us know what kind of startup logo will be used. I would like to know the following pretty please:
Addition:
Take a look
- Will the startup logo be static or animated?
- Will there be an audio startup sound to accompany the logo (I think this is a yes)?
- Minimum seconds will the startup logo be displayed for (I'm assuming logo will remain until end of boot)?
- If the logo is animated, what format will the animation be?

I really like all the animations presented so far (though I like Eolair's logo the best).
All, that is, except WarmFluffyUK's. Well, maybe that's a bit strong. I like it, it just reminds me a lot of the Nintendo DS startup animation. Wouldn't want us to be seen as copying any of the big boys, is all.

The problem is most of these images are really flashy and good, but are more for the bootup sequence than the bios.
For the bios the animations either need to be procedural (programmed) or fit into a few kilobyte gif file.
I think all of warmfluffyuk's animations could be programmed but without the gpu it is much harder to achieve the transparency effects.
Eolairs are not likely to be implementable in the bios stage at all as they are too complex to fit in a few KiB.
If everyone likes one of warmfluffys logos then it's possible I could program a procedural version.
Also I'm not sure what the likelyhood of the sound system being initialized in the bios stage is, I'm guessing there won't be any sound either.

First

Third <---
I really like the second one! It is simple but efficient, and my favourite so far. The first one is good too.
I think someone mentioned this earlier, but I would like to be able to change it to another preinstalled animation whenever I want, like the bootsound. Would that be possible?

You won't need any transparent effects, flash can export to gifs. I think I tried my first one and got it to about 83K and I bet I can get it smaller too.flatmush said:

Sorry, but I suck at explaining stuff :P
Yeah it does look the most professional (IMO).Rayek said:

DROOL... Clare, that's freaking awesome!
And Eolair's is great as well, but possibly a bit too busy? But I do like that blue electricity effect!

Just for fun
OMG, that's THE one!!!
So many good artists around here!

I like WarmFluffyUK's 1st one, Kagato's, and also that one with the white text on black background (except that I think only the cube should be "drawn", the "Pandora" letters should be typed).
But whatever it is, I think that it should take no longer than 2-3 seconds. Really, the GBC startup logo was the perfect length. The shorter the better (unless there's a certain time that the system will be "loading" anyway).
I know how to use Flash too, but I'm using it to make an animation using painted graphics (not Flash's forte, but it's an adaptable program)... so I'll leave the clean vector art animation to those who are more proficient in it than I am.
